He has studied and practiced yoga, meditation, martial arts and combat sports, dance, physical training and therapy from traditions around the world.

Krishnamacharya via his students AG and Indra Mohan), capoeira angola, qigong and internal martial arts, Butoh, rehabilitative exercise, and worked as a therapist and bodyworker for over a decade using Chinese medicine, tuina, shiatsu, Thai massage, remedial massage and myotherapy.

In 2012 he began facilitating training groups using the concept of “natural movement”, exploring physical culture within the context of evolutionary biology, pioneering the natural movement community in Australia, and publicly “coming out” with ideas and training methods that he’d been working on for decades, under the title Ancestral Movement. Simon has been teaching this work to dancers, trainers, athletes, physical therapists, martial artists, yoga practitioners, meditators, psychologists, artists, environmental educators, people with injuries and chronic health conditions and many others in classes and workshops around Australia and in regular seasonal wilderness retreats since 2012.

Elizabeth Éowyn Nelson, faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute since 2003, has been a professional writer and editor for four decades. Dr. Nelson’s books include Psyche’s Knife (Chiron, 2012), The Art of Inquiry (Spring, 2005 & 2017), coauthored with Joseph Coppin, and The Art of Jungian Couple Therapy, coauthored with Anthony Delmedico (Routledge, 2025). 

Psyche's Knife examines the myth of Eros and Psyche as a metaphor for the development of soul in the psychology of women, explicating the tropes of love and power as depicted by Psyche's use of a knife in attempting to learn the identity of her lover. Elizabeth Eowyn Nelson examines the metaphor of the knife from all angles — alchemical, sacrificial, lunar, phallic — and delves into the mythology and imagery of women and knives, connecting our deep past to our present lives and our possibilities for the future with archetypal explorations of love and power.
